I got a Timex-Sinclair 1000 with 64k of memory, the add-on keyboard and a smoking tape drive.
Tell me how I can help. Please send the program on cassette. No more than 48 kB please |

Quoted: Quoted: someone, IN ENGLISH, tell me what the fuck I'm looking at, what the fuck it does and why the fuck I should care.... This. I'm lost.  Folding at home is a program. You install and use the power of your computer to join up with other people running the same thing. Together all of the computers can handle tons and tons of work. I am not EXACTLY what they are doing but the more personal PCs that have in the program the better. |

Nice rig sitting there
I can see WHY he is doing that though. According to his site http://atlasfolding.com/ , his dad and uncle have Huntington's disease.

Quoted:
If you will notice in the lower shots you can see the support structure for what looks like a row of server racks. I seriously doubt this guy has this setup in his abode. Likely it is in an academic setting or in a small corporate server room acting as a test bed or a tax writeoff. The infrastructure around the rack looks too professional for a home. And this is coming from a guy that has a 7ft server rack at the house. 
Me too. |

Done. Of course I start at the bottom with 0 team points, but if I could transfer my 3 mill + points over, I would easily be in first place.  ETA: Just cranked up my GPU again on f@h, so it and the PS3 will be adding to the arfcom team totals. Who is pyro6988 at the top of list with 12 processors going?

It looks for cures for a disease??? I say bullshit, why the fuck would any pharmaceutical company make a cure for a disease. That's like GM building a car that lasts a decade. Pharmaceutical companies are still pissed about all the money they lost from curing polio in the 50's, they ain't cured shit since... The money isn't in the cure, the money is on the comeback when they sell you some shit to get you by... That computer is being used by Obama for something evil....

If a cure for a disease leads to a longer lifespan, that means a longer time where the patient can be under treatment for other conditions. Curing some diseases would
definitely be in the best interests of the drug companies. Personally, I think that there should be one government organization whose sole purpose is to find cures for disease. Every researcher is on a good salary package and the medicines and treatments that they develop would be offered by .gov at cost. CJ |

My GPU is supposed to be compatible with the GPU cores, but it would always error out on me. Running 2 SMP core clients really raised my scores fast, but it almost cooked my computers to death. I have decided to hold off until I am able to build a better rig before jumping back in. [AR15.com]_Torf |

It's actually a bit better now that I'm not running the visualization window. Also, dialing back the max CPU usage to about 80% makes it much more usable. The only thing that happens is that the mouse cursor occasionally hesitates. Other than that, you can't even tell it's running.
ETA: except that the GPU is running at 82C on NVmonitor. |

I did a little research and figured out that with the latest drivers, my Dell Precision 4300 could handle the GPU client. The graphics card is the nVidia Quadro FX M360.
I downloaded the newest Windows 7 driver, and now my GPU is humming away, apparently at about 11 minutes per percentage point. If that holds, the WU would have taken 18.5 hours. Is that reasonable? My SMP WU's used to take about a day each. |

Don't know much about that Nvidia card. My 9800 GT takes around 4 hrs per work unit (112 processors), my 8500 takes 1 day 18 hrs or so per WU (16 processors).
